Phew. We completed another build, so if you’re one of our $40 Kickstarter backers you should be able to download it from Humble soon. I’ve attached the change log to the end of this post.
As you see that’s a relatively long list including some bigger changes, so we’ll give our testers some time now to find the problems that we missed, while we work on a couple of new things in the meantime.
We had a super fun art livestream this week where Garret modeled this new Wave Swinger ride, and I’ve put it into the game since.
Really happy with how it turned out :)
